Are Government Economic Development Programs Helpful or Harmful? Information to Allow a Small Business Owner to Make this Decision​Following is information, observations and thoughts surrounding my experience with government programs. I expect there may be those that disagree. My objective is to provide information to prepare a business owner in advance of partnering with governments. Buyer beware is always the case in all transactions.

Governments preoccupation with business expansion into new markets, international trade, new innovation and preferred sector support is a death blow to a majority of existing small Canadian businesses that to have to fix their own house first but are ignored because they do not fit the governments profile of a worthy businesses due to not adhering to the government expansion mandate.

The real meaning behind the saying “I am from government and I am here to help you” is, I am from government to leverage you businesses and you to fulfill our objectives and when we find out your are disposable you will be on your own, broken and broke. A failure in their eyes and the other businesses they interact with since it is never the government’s involvement and direction that causes the demise of your company.

The key to success in leveraging government’s involvement is do your homework, determining how to leverage their resources and ensuring a ROI on every dollar spend or invested. Do not allow them to leverage you unless you remain in control. You are the authority and subject material expert on you business and markets. Don’t let them manage you.

The hype of expansion and government’s encouragement to get you on board is quite tantalizing to small business owners. The thinking can go like this “I have problems with my current company but if I tape into government support into their programs this will be the solution and we will be successful.”

The old hard and true path to business success is to take care of what you have, make sure it is working well and have the talent and finances first before expansion. If something is broke and you call on it to do more, the problems and risk increase significantly?

I have been observing governments, accounting firms, consulting firms and international trade law firm’s pronouncements and all talk about expansion and successes. I have never seen a list of companies they are involved in that have failed and they have discontinued involvement. I think that Canadian small businesses would learn more from the failures than the successes.

For those that think government trade missions are the answer they may be if you have done your homework, lined up high probability buyers or partners and have agreements ready for signing. In many cases small businesses are looking singularly at the trade mission as an opportunity to obtain international business. If the homework has not been done as previously outlined and a budget for a return trip is not in place then the trade mission is an expensive vacation. Trade mission are good if it considered a place for a face to face to finalize a deal.

The take away from this post is “Before expanding or getting government involved fix what is broke so you can focus on expansion if and only if you fully understand the risk, cost, return and payback period.” A full assessment of your organization must be done to ensure you are ready for expansion. If you are not ready you will lose. Make sure the decision is based on good research and you are comfortable that success will be obtained. Another old saying is that if you need government involve moving forward on any project to meet the required ROI to obtain financing you should not be doing the project.

Government business assistance programs can be valuable tools and resources but they are not cure alls and no substitute for good performance management. Expansion is in most cases successful in successful companies and disaster for under performing ones.

Be smart, do your research, have a realistic plan and have the knowledge within or available to support you. You cannot run a business and expand by yourself.​If you have any questions please contact us.
